Treasury Board
How Treasury Board spent its budget in fiscal year 2024-25, shown as net expenditures by standard object from Public Accounts Volume II.
The Treasury Board is a cabinet committee that acts as the government's management board, responsible for setting policy on financial management, administration, compensation, and human resources across federal departments and agencies. The Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat supports the Treasury Board in this role, providing oversight of government spending, comptrollership, and public service management. The portfolio also includes the Canada School of Public Service, which provides training and learning for federal employees, along with independent offices such as the Office of the Public Sector Integrity Commissioner and the Office of the Commissioner of Lobbying, which oversee integrity and lobbying activity in and around government.
In the 2024–25 fiscal year, Treasury Board recorded total spending of $11.15B, representing 2.0% of total federal spending for the year.
Nearly all of the recorded spending was attributed to the Treasury Board Secretariat itself, reflecting its role as the central entity through which the portfolio's funding is administered. The Canada School of Public Service accounted for a much smaller share, while the Office of the Public Sector Integrity Commissioner and the Office of the Commissioner of Lobbying represented comparatively minor amounts. Transfer payments from the portfolio were modest relative to total spending, and included contributions to the Open Government Partnership, payments under the Public Service Income Benefit Plan for survivors of employees slain on duty, support for the International Federation of Accountants, funding through the Research and Policy Initiatives Assistance Program, and contributions covering access to legal advice under the Public Servants Disclosure Protection Act.
